What is the relationship between dekagray and attogray?

One dekagray (daGy) equals 10^19 attogray (aGy), reflecting the large difference in magnitude between these units.

In which fields is this conversion most useful?

This conversion is commonly applied in medical physics, radiation protection, industrial irradiation process control, radiation research, microelectronics dosimetry, and space instrumentation calibration.

Why are the converted attogray values so large?

Because attogray measures extremely small absorbed doses (10^-18 joule per kilogram), converting from the much larger dekagray unit results in very large numerical values.
